Uninstalling “Unsupported” Plugins
You cannot use Receptor’s Uninstall button to remove any unsupported plugins. Rather you must uninstall any
unsupported plugins using the following technique:
1 Mount Receptor on your computer’s hard drive.
See “Mounting Receptor on your Computer’s Desktop” on page 149 for more information.
2 Navigate to the Unsupported Plugins folder on Receptor’s hard drive.
Specifically, this is located here:
Program Files / VST Plugins / Unsupported Plugins
3 Locate the .dll file you wish to delete and drag it into your computer’s trash.
4 Triple-click the POWER button on Receptor’s front panel.
The screen goes gray for a few seconds as the Receptor user interface restarts. Upon completion, the plugin is deleted.
IMPORTANT: If an unsupported plugin prevents Receptor from booting properly, you will still have network
access to your Receptor. Because of this, you will still be able to access your Receptor’s Hard Drive from a
networked computer even though Receptor’s graphical user interface did not start up properly, and you will be
able to delete the problem plugin using the above method.
Delete/Copy Files from Receptor
You do not need a computer connection to uninstall plugins. You uninstall plugins using Receptor’s Setup view
(in the GUI) or the SETUP button (if you’re using Receptor’s front panel).
Similarly, you delete banks and patches using Receptor’s graphical user interface or its front panel — you do
not need a computer connection.
If you wish to delete samples, you may do so by mounting Receptor’s Hard Drive on your computer, then
dragging any undesired samples to the trash. Be careful — if you trash a sample used by a plugin, single, or
multi patch, that patch will no longer work properly.
NOTE: In general, samples are stored in the Samples folder on Receptor’s hard drive. Muse Research
recommends that this is where all users store their samples so that it’s easy to find them.
Get a Receptor’s Bank/Patch List
You can, at any time, get a list of every patch stored in Receptor and its exact Bank Select (MSB/LSB) and
Program Change numbers. This is very useful if, for example, you want to set up your desktop sequencer to
select Receptor patches by name. To do so:
1 Mount Receptor on your desktop as described in “Mounting Receptor on your Computer’s Desktop” on
page 149.
2 Open the Reports folder on Receptor’s hard drive and double-click the Patch and Bank Assignments file.
If you wish, you can copy this file to your computer desktop and either print it or transfer it into a format that your
desktop sequencing environment understands.
